Bombardier March ATC

After having several VIPs (Very Important Projects) not go the way I hoped the last couple of weeks, I needed to regroup and get my confidence back (and stop over-thinking everything!).  So last night I sat down to create an ATC incorporating some of my favorite images.

Some World War I-era sheet music, a post-war European map, and this mustached soldier came together to create a card that evokes the time period of the Great War.  Now I hope to get back to my VIPs and not only complete them, but be happy with the results.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Cardstock ATC base; vintage sheet music; vintage map from a geography textbook; clip art gent from Alpha Stamps; postmark rubber stamps by Tim Holtz and Inkadinkado; peeled paint and walnut stain distress ink; black Stazon; medium charcoal pencil.

That happens sometimes, doesn't it? It helps to restore your confidence to return to your tried and tested style that you know you can do brilliantly - as you have here. This is a wonderful ATC, great image and perfectly placed with the mixed background.

Good luck with the VIP's - you know you can do it!
